[Finger Lakes Copywriting] 1 New Entry: New 100% Soy Wax for Scented Soy Candles from Wick-edly Sent

New 100% Soy Wax for Scented Soy Candles from Wick-edly Sent

(Canandaigua, N.Y) – Wick-edly Sent is keeping up with these changing times and has introduced an even greener way to burn your favorite scented candles. Although Wick-edly Sent has advocated from the beginning the benefits of their soy scented candles, they are still thinking up new ways to make their candles even better for you and the environment.

Soy wax burns cleaner resulting in less toxins for you, and your family to breathe, not to mention leaving out the film of black soot that other scented candles may leave behind on the walls, curtains and furniture of your home. Soy candles also burn at a cooler temperature, providing a significantly longer burn time, an average of 20% - 50%, which is always beneficial when trying to get more bang for your buck. Soy wax is non-toxic and over time it will not harm the environment making scented soy candles a "greener" choice, as well as the fact that soybeans are a renewable resource and grown right here in the United States. This in turn helps Wick-edly Sent support their local community and economy.

Their new 100% soy candles are now offered in a new line of jars, since this type of wax is only suitable for containers because of its not so solid texture. "Soy blends" are needed to produce solid wax for votive candles. According to co-owner Don Stevens, "The new smooth sided jars help to burn your scented candles cleaner and there is less wax left behind to waste."

About Wick-edly Sent:

Scott Mackey and Don Stevens, owners, opened Wick-edly Sent in 2003 in Baltimore, and moved to NY State in 2005. The scented candles are available online, and can be shipped nationwide. In addition, natural olive oil soap and bath products are available.

Contact for more information about soy candles, or to inquire about wholesale candles.

Downtown Canandaigua Announces Holiday Open House

Downtown Merchants create a festive holiday experience with free stocking stuffers, holiday drink recipes with tasting, free elf dollars, plus a $1000 shopping spree.

With the holidays approaching, the Downtown Canandaigua Merchants Association is creating a holiday open house experience. The event is Friday, November 21- Sunday November 23rd in downtown Canandaigua. The weekend event is their holiday kick off, unveiling Main Street's holiday decorations, holiday themed gifts, apparel, and art. This year they have planned a fun adventure. A holiday drink recipe contest invites the public to go to participating merchants to sample a holiday drink with recipe. Consumers will also vote on the best. There is also a free stocking stuffer giveaway from participating merchants. The free stockings and stocking stuffers are one to a family while supplies last. A live elf will liven things up by giving away free "Holiday Elf Dollars" that can be redeemed by merchants. And for the third year, consumers can register to win a $1000 shopping spree for the holidays.

"This is the whole experience," Don Stevens, president of the Downtown Merchant Association explains. "The old historic buildings, the unique shops, restaurants, and galleries, and quaintness bring people together." As a business owner himself, he looks forward to a bright holiday season. "The horse drawn wagon rides, the newly renovated Santa's House, and the friendly merchants make downtown Canandaigua a holiday destination."

The Holiday Open House is a time when the merchants display their holiday themed products, whether it's apparel, gifts, or art. This is a time when Main Street is decorated with holiday lights, and represents a kick-off to the holiday shopping season. Having more activities, such as the holiday drink contest, free stocking stuffers, and elf dollars create a more festive atmosphere for consumers.

[Finger Lakes Copywriting] 1 New Entry: Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast Celebrates Five Successful Years

Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast Celebrates Five Successful Years

 

Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast Celebrates Five Successful Years

 

Innkeepers offer Finger Lakes visitors a fantastic view and bed and breakfast amenities that continues to draw more guests seeking a unique getaway.

 

Seeking a Finger Lakes bed and breakfast can be a difficult choice. This is something Henry and Barbara Owens knew when opening Bristol Views in 2003. The Finger Lakes bed and breakfast sits on County Road 12, in Naples, overlooking Canandaigua Lake. Nestled in the Bristol Hills, located on what is known as the "high road", Bristol Views offers all the finest comforts and amenities of other Finger Lakes lodging establishments, and then some. The recently renovated historic farmhouse holds charm and an eloquence of its own; guests can view old photographs of the building in an upstairs hallway, just like a guided tour, while antiques and cozy furniture create a fetching atmosphere.

 

Besides having cross country skiing packages with Bristol Mountain and Hunt Hollow Ski Club, there are also vineyards for wine tastings nearby, an outside hot tub available all year round, and full breakfasts every day. So what keeps this Finger Lakes bed and breakfast so successful? "The comforting atmosphere," Barbara Owens says. "The friendly innkeepers," she chuckles, "and the hearty American breakfasts." Henry Owens, her husband agrees with all the above. "I hear guests saying all the time ‘I don’t eat like this at home’." More reasons that contribute to their success are that they’ve been called the "Perfect romantic weekend getaway". With four luxurious rooms, a pampering hot tub, large deck with lounging chairs, piano, and a wood burning stove, no one would argue.

 

And let’s not forget that spectacular view. One of the reasons they chose this spot for a Finger Lakes bed and breakfast was the spectacular view. They are just a few feet away from an overlook that attracts daily motorists on County Road 12, which got national attention on the covers of I LOVE NY as the most picturesque and photographed road in the Finger Lakes.

 

Tourists are not the only guests enjoying this hideaway, Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse residents are discovering the opportunities that this Finger Lakes bed and breakfast has to offer. Bristol Views is now offering rollback rates by bringing back prices from 2005 until April of 2009. This is their "thank you" and their way of celebrating their fifth anniversary. Barbara and Henry Owens invite guests to stay for a relaxing getaway and enjoy the splendors of Bristol Views.
